(...) Doh! I posted without reviewing the current conventions. I suppose I could have inferred that the correct orientation puts the narrow (or corner-less) edge toward the front along the long axis of the part? Thanks for the quick answer, though! (...)

(...) If LEGO were to produce a rectangular plate, say a 4x8, with a missing corner, what would be a good way to describe it? The part could easily have a mirror-image part, so it wouldn't be enough to say "Plate 4 x 8 without corner," since that (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) This one should be Wing 3 x 4 (...) These ones are plates with one corner clipped, I think the 'Without Corner' label is better than Wing.

(...) In general, a wedge is a 'clipped' brick and a wing is a 'clipped' plate. I don't see any exception to this rule in the official library but if an exception exists on the PT then those part should be commented upon. -Orion (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I think more parts need to be renamed.

(...) 1. Will they still be considered part of the Round category? (I.e., will they then need a "0 CATEGORY Round" meta-statement?) 2. Won't they need "Space", "radar", and "round" added to their lists of KEYWORDS? Thnx, Franklin (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
